Is using Suave Naturals or VO5 as a washing agent just as good as using No-Poo? I'm only asking because, as most of you know, Deva products are not inexpensive! So if I can get away with the Suave & just have a small bottle of No-poo on hand for my trips to a hair salon, that would be awesome!! Any ideas?

I like no-poo too, but you don't have to use it everytime you wash you can use it every few days.. This way it should also last longer.. also I like the noo-poo because it contains peppermint or something in it and makes you head tingley.
